It would be nice if it truly worked that way but it doesn't. For
instance one thing they've recently learned that if you exercise the
body will quickly return to it's metabolic rate and not stay somewhat
elevated as previously assumed. Some people can lose weight more easily
than others. Some folks can't stand to do a diet as it effects them
mentally and they can't focus at work. Some folks who are obese can
still be quite fit, especially in the legs from carrying the extra
weight around.
Metabolic rates need to be accounted for. Some people burn their carbs
faster than others or slower than others. That changes the equation too.

OK, I get the "protective services" thang. If you're a cop, or an
ex-cop "working security" at some company or for some rich folks,
you've got that Dunkin' Donuts Jones goin' for you, and that's a
hard monkey to shake off your back.
But "health services?" It reminds me of the time I visited my
father in the hospital. He was there at the time to treat his
emphysema, caused at least partly by a lifetime of smoking. I sat
at his bedside and watched the meter of the oxygen machine he was
hooked up to. It displayed the oxygen content of his blood, and
there was a marker on the scale to indicate "Normal." Even though
he was wearing a mask and breathing pure oxygen, the red bar
never made it even halfway to the Normal mark.
Later that day, I walked out of the hospital and in the parking
lot saw *all* of the doctors and nurses who worked there on the
Pulmonary Care Ward there, smoking cigarettes. They saw people
like my father every day, and yet here they were, smoking
cigarettes. Go figure. So it's not a big leap for me to imagine
them seeing all the statistics they deal with every day about the
health risks associated with obesity, and yet swelling up like a
balloon themselves anyway.
Truck drivers? That's a no-brainer. You sit on your ass all day
and eat junk food as you drive, what can you expect? But
interestingly, one of the only people I've ever met in my life
*as* fat as the truck drivers I've seen in truck stops was Bevan
Morris. He's one of the honchos of an organization that promises
"perfect health" as the inevitable result of the techniques it
sells. A few of the TM "Rajas" also rival the size of truck
drivers, too. So what's up with that?

*What's up today Bawwy? Pickin' on fat folks because, why? Last
time I made a comment about diet Bhairitu got quite bent out of
shape. I wonder how he's likin' the fat jokes today. Your
contributions to this forum are just getting worse and worse. Why
not keep your drivel to places like FB? Your audience might
appreciate you more there - or not.*
Refresh my memory. Usually when I take some diet program to task
it is because it is a shotgun approach. Doctors don't know much
about nutrition unless they are diabetes specialists or make
nutrition their specialty. And I've heard radio doctor Dean
Edell who was aware of biochemical individuality say it was "too
hard" to use. Also back in the late 1970s there was the doctor
who learned of macrobiotics from a hitchhiker and used it to cure
his own cancer. But in his articles he said the problem was
getting patients to change their lifestyle to use such a program.
I think I said something like, "It's simple, work off more
calories than you consume." It wasn't anything rocket-sciency or
complex.But I think you thought my theory was a bit cavalier or
something and made a comment about me evidently never having had
weight issues in my life.
